Policy for Issue Resolution between Parents & Coaches

Over the course of a season, parents may have serious and legitimate questions regarding coaching decisions. If a parent has a significant question or a concern they would like to discuss with their player’s coach, they should follow these guidelines:

Do not approach the coach immediately before a game. The coach is focused on preparing the entire team for the game and does not have time to deal with any significant distractions

Wait at least 24 hours to discuss issues that occurred during a game. These questions or issues tend to be emotionally charged, so it’s recommended to have a cooling off period prior to a productive discussion

Find a private place to have the discussion. Make sure the discussion is not overheard by the players or other parents

Finally, it is the parent’s (or player’s) responsibility to bring the question or concern to the coach prior to elevating it to the WVL Board. The coach has the right to hear the question or concern first hand, as well as, the opportunity to answer the question or address the concern directly with the parent or player.

Policy on Minimum Playing Time for Youth Level Players

During the pre-season meeting, the coach will communicate to players and parents what criteria drive coaching decisions about an individual’s playing time. These criteria may include, but are not limited to:

attendance and effort at practice

consistently displaying a positive attitude

teamwork

mental focus during pre-game activities

Players that are in good standing with their coach’s criteria should expect to play at least 25% of the game. This may vary from game to game, but should average out over the course of a weekend.

Policy on Roster Size for Youth Level Teams

WVL will limit the roster size of youth level teams in order to prevent unnecessary coaching challenges that stem from having teams with too many players (i.e. individual playing time in games).

“Open registration” for youth level teams will close at 22 players

After 22 players are registered, additional registrations will be “waitlisted”

Once the total number of registered and wait listed players reaches 32 players:

wait listed players will complete their registration payment

the roster will be split into 2 teams

In the event that the sum of registered and wait listed players does not reach 32 players:

the players from the waitlist will be invited to participate in a “practice only” capacity

if a roster spot opens, players from the waitlist may be added to the roster based on the order in which they were added to the waitlist (first one on the waitlist will be the first one off the waitlist)

"Wait listed" players may also be added to the roster at the coaches discretion provided:

the coach can manage minimum playing time guidelines for all players

the wait listed players are added to the roster in the same order they were added on to the waitlist

Refund Policy
Except in the case of rare and extenuating circumstances, the Wenatchee Valley Lacrosse Club has a NO REFUND policy on registrations.

An example of a exception to this policy is in the circumstance where a registered participant incurs a season ending injury before the start of the season.

Financial Assistance
It is a Wenatchee Valley Lacrosse Club policy that limited financial resources will not prevent any player from participating on one of our lacrosse teams . It is expected that families applying for financial assistance provide a parent volunteer to their participants Division as needed. Volunteer requirements will take into consideration all encumbrances experienced by that parent so the needs of the Division do not put an undue burden on that volunteer.
